Wednesday 11 July Sophie Honness - Weaving with Wool

Weaving with Wool, taught by Sophie Honness. Join our new tutor Sophie as she guides you through the art of weaving with wool. Try your hand at weaving on a DIY loom, and learn techniques you can use at home to create your very own amazing and colourful wall hanging. Sophie’s wall hangings have been exhibited in Tamworth and beyond and are beautiful and vibrant.

Danny Stanley-Character Design. Creating crazy characters sound fun? In this workshop you will create a group of characters, whose shapes, personalities and story points are all harmonised and contrasted with each other. You may choose to use realistic or cartoon styles.

Ever wanted to draw more realistic and stylised people and figures? Danny Stanley has studies at Julian Ashton Art School and is keen to teach you some of the things he has learned. You will draw from Steve, the spooky (plastic) resident skeleton in the Gallery, as well as other digital resources.

Andrea Bruno – Ceramics. Be inspired by the current ceramic exhibition in the Gallery and create your own clay sculptural pot. Andrea will work with students to show them techniques and tips to make your very own ceramic work of art! Please note: firing of these works will not be done on the day, further instructions will be given should you wish to fire your work.

Danny Stanley- Draw your pets. Do you have a favourite animal or pet? Ever wanted to learn how to draw animals more realistically? Then this workshop is for you! Danny Stanley has created many realistic and quirky pet portraits and now is your chance to learn the tricks of the trade from him! Bring in a photo of their pets or an animal that they like and create your own pet portraits!
